Writing and the process of creation in literature have been the subject of research in different fields of knowledge, among which stand out literary criticism and psy-knowledge, such as psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, and psychiatry. In these fields, biographical and psychologizing approaches were sometimes predominant. The purpose of this article is to analyze the criticism of such approaches and seek alternatives to the causal relationship between author and work. Based on Barthes, Foucault and Chartier we mean to set into evidence that the authorship is not natural, but arose in the XVII century, causing consequences on literary analysis. Based on Blanchot and Dewey, we argue that the writer is guided by what he/she perceives: he/she is the writer and reader simultaneously. With Varela, Thompson and Rosch, we conclude that the work of art and the author are effects of a mechanism of co-emergency, that is, both are engendered by the same process of literary creation.

Keywords : Author; Literary writing; Co-emergency.
